Today's Corner View is "Earth Day". Here are a couple little images I've been keeping aside and hoping to find a way to use. They seem to work for this theme. What do you think? Like little visual anagrams of Mother Earth.

The top one is of a vertical garden that is being cultivated in my neighborhood. I hope to post more photos when it gets properly going. The middle one is from Maisons Cote Sud Dec 09/Jan 10; photographer - Henri Del Olmo ! It's a beautiful image, no? The one below is my photo again, of the

paving at the new Chinese pavilions at Huntington Gardens in San Marino. I hope they remind you of Mother Earth and why she should be precious to us. In all her marvelous variety, delicacy and strength. They do me.

Along the same lines, in the post previous to this one, I have also posted shots from the Chelsea Flower Show. If you haven't, you should check it out for some of Mother Nature's fairly astounding miracles. And truly the miracles that must be contemplated when you consider that all those plants are trucked in and installed - not grown - on site really, barely within the week of the flower show! Tomorrow I'll be posting the mountains northeast of Los Angeles, covered in poppies, lupines and daisies. Unbelievable! So hope you like this one. Soon I'll be popping by to see all of your Corner Views!

If you're not a regular, Joyce can probably help you find others of today's Corner Views at her blog here while Jane of Spain Daily is on vacation in Mexico.

hey everybody! so nice celebrating earth day with you. and ian and kevin if you're reading this welcome onboard its so nice to have you. i am totally in solidarity with what you both do in your blogs!

i am in agreement with so many who have posted how everyday should be earth day. on the other hand ian not flying would so cramp our style wouldn't it? but i think being thoughtful and judicious about our impact is not so hard. gretchen at cup and table - see blogroll - has a great suggestion for earthday. taking a nap! what a way to diminish that carbon footprint and make every day earth day!
